Welcoming German Officials
Alain Hubert and the station team welcomed a number of German VIPs, including two ministers, a member of the Bundestag, and senior Alfred Wegener Institute staff members. The German delegation came to have a look at the Polar 6 plane, which is operating out of Princess Elisabeth Station this season, and also visited the station.
